Strike hits transport services in Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh

Public transport services were hit while banking services were partially affected in Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh in the wake of the nationwide strike call given by major trade unions to protest price rise and labour laws among other issues.

Despite issuing strict warning to enforce “No Work No Pay” by authorities against the strike, many employees affiliated to trade unions like CITU and AITUC, abstained from their duties.
